How do you get the smell out of a washing machine drum?
Pour two cups of white vinegar into the drum, then run a normal cycle at high heat—without any clothes, of course. The baking soda and vinegar should break up any residue stuck to your drum and eliminate any mold that might be present. They’ll also help remove any foul odors.
